The Soccer Page -- An Update
The Texas Shootout. Accepted teams.
Olivia's team is participating in the three-day Texas Shootout Tournament in Houston, TX, this weekend where only the best of the best teams are invited to play.
This is a "showcase" event. Scouts will be there looking for talent for college programs.
Overall, across all age groups and including both men's and women's teams, I estimate 200 teams are in the tournament. In Olivia's age group, there are 34 women's teams from across the nation:
- Arkansas
- California - North
- California - South
- Colorado
- Florida
- Hawaii
- Louisiana
- Mississippi
- New Mexico
- Nevada
- Oklahoma
- Texas - North
- Texas - South
They played their first game this afternoon.
Drum roll.
Olivia's team won: 10 - 0. They played a Texas team from College Station, TX, Challenge 06 Aggieland.
